A practical design description outlines arrangements on the front and back of a car cover and a delicate French lingerie ruffle. It notes easy adaptation to different materials and methods, including shadow work as an alternative to satin stitch. The pattern is flexible and workable in various techniques.
A guide on creating lampshades from white or colored taffeta silk using wire frames and silk binding tape. It describes measuring fabric, avoiding overgathering, and notes perforated embroidery patterns available via the Needlework Department with reusable transfers and careful stamping instructions.
A list of cutwork centerpieces, blouses, skirts, belts, hats, doilies, and bags with Wallachian and empire designs. Prices range from 2% to 35 cents, including centerpieces, dolls, yokes, bonnets, and doilies. Many items reference daisy, fleur-de-lis, corset covers, eyelets, and coronation braid decorations.
An article describes a butterfly motif for corset covers and lingerie ruffles, highlighting satin stitch use for the butterfly and dots, padding needs, and possible eyelet or satin stitch for dots. It notes the lingerie ruffle pattern fits drawER ruffles and petticoats, with pattern components sold via the newspaper frame.
The article explains assembling a silk rifle pattern with a lower rim pinned tight at the top before sewing. The silk is covered with wide inexpensive filet lace, cut between pattern squares to join without a visible seam. A flat band forms the top, finished either at the top or inside as a lining, with lining optional if rims are well covered. The silk may be hemmed or pinked for the final edge.
A technique converts bits of ribbon into tom thumb sachets used as luncheon favors. The sachets hold fachet powder in tiny pockets sewn to the ribbon. Petals are formed by bringing ribbon ends forward to cover the bag, creating flowers in pinks purples yellows whites.
Parisian sachet bonbon bags appeal to young girls as small linen reticules trimmed with lace and handwork. The two piece bags, oblong in shape, feature eyelet embroidery and varying trims. They suit dances as pocket handkerchiefs and small belongings, with delicate lace edging and French or Italian details.
The article explains a simple hemstitch technique easier than plain hemming. It covers drawing out threads, turning and basting hems, corner preparation, and the basic hemming stitch without knots, aiming for accurate, square corners and a clean edge.
The article describes near French miniature style silhouettes in black on colored linen. Six or seven silhouettes rest on a cushion or table cloth, joined by embroidered colored vines and garlands. The design suits deep toned natural linen and creates a harmonious decorative effect.
